Odyssey2 - Shortly after Atari introduced the 2600, Magnavox
came out with its own cartridge-based game system, the Odyssey 2. This bulky but
lightweight system had an alpha-numeric keyboard, which unfortunately wasn't used
for much except game selection and entering messages on the screen. The joysticks
were somewhat better than the average, but were hardwired to the console, making
it almost impossible to replace them with anything else (I say almost, because
I added standard Atari connectors to the back of mine). In 1981, 'The Voice' module
was released, which added speech and better sound to specific games designed for
it - what few there were.

A lot of games for the Odyssey 2 were very similar to Atari 2600 games, but
with much simpler graphics and gameplay. The Challenger and Master Strategy
Series games, which came out in the later half of the Odyssey era, were of a
much better design, even though the graphics still lacked when compared to other
current systems. There were also more games released over in Europe, where the
system was slightly more popular than in the United States.
